Maker: Unknown
Collar from an armour. Of textile layers, lined with red velvet, and covered in red velvet, now faded to dull pink, studded with copper alloy nails forming a scale pattern. Bordered with blue and yellow cords, largely detached. The exterior velvet is torn, part is missing, and some of the nails are corroded matt green. Damage to the lining reveals the cotton wadding inside
